Hey Jon,
The white shadow effect is the Text Shadow style of the Widgets of the Integrity Light Stack. Since you’re using Integrity Light, you should be using dark text on light background because in that setup, the built-in Text Shadow very subtle.
Because you’ve modified the background to a dark color most probably using custom CSS, you also would need to edit the footer text to white. There are many selectors in the footer and it’s not feasible for us to list them all and we cannot provide custom code guidance as part of our normal theme support. That service is only reserved for our One premium support. I’ll provide a small snippet for turning the widget text to white but if you need more, please consider subscribing to One. Add the following code in Theme Options > CSS.
.widget ul li a, .widget ol li a, .x-comment-time {
color: white;
}
The result should look like this.
The best thing for you though since you’re already using Pro is to use the Pro Footer Builder so you can create a custom footer and control every aspect of your design without the use of custom code.

Thanks.
